Gearchange Problems

[ToTo_17]

Hi guys!

I wanted to ask a question regarding changing gears... Once in a while it so happens that Im switching gears and the shifter does not want to go in gear all the way, and I unfortunately have my foot on the clutch in such a way, that its basically a mis-shift and makes a cranking sound! You guys know what Im talking about... YES, I do know how to drive since I've been doing it for about 15 years already, but its still bothering and I get real frustrated when it happens, cause I know its not good for the car.

This happens quite rarely, and I would just like to know what problems can this cause to the transmission or basically anything? Does this really hurt the transmission or anyother part in anyway, this cranking mis-shifting sound? What happens when I hear this, this is what Im trying to get at, and what damage can it do?

Thanks!

Yeah, usually 2nd or 3rd but today it was in 5th, it was a quick shift but it ended up poorly...

not sure then, if it was just 1 gear it could be the syncromesh ring for that gear, i had that problem with mine a few weeks ago, it was resolved by replacing the gearbox. it could be a problem with the dissengagement of the clutch

Just make sure your foot is rammed down on the clutch... I do it occasionally, but It's my error, not the cars... lazy clutch action on my part!

Nothing to worry about I don't think... the Yaris gearbox has a lovely notch to it, just takes a bit of getting used to to get them gears slotted in nicely.

Agree with Seveer here,

I used to crunch fourth a fair bit when I first got the car, as it felt a bit stiffer to get into sometimes and i'd bring the clutch up.. ooops.

nice short-throw clutch and notchy gearbox isn't it lets you change proper fast

Ok, thanks a bunch! I will have to pay more attention to this, it does only happen to me occasionally as well, but its annoying!

Yes I agree, but I also feel this stiffness even now with almost 6,000 km. in the car, hope it will soften up a bit more...
